Customer Reviews

Semi-Adequate
This product should be better boasting the Cuisinart name! We love our Cuisinart Coffee Pot. This grinder was very disappointing because the grinds do not evenly grind. The top grounds will not be ground at all unless you remove the lid and stir constantly, while you are pulverizing the bottom. If it had two blades, another one like one inch higher then it would likely grind better. It is easy to clean up but the pain of stirring and then pulsing sort of takes away from this benefit! It does have a handy lid to store the grounds in. My husband likes his espresso ground fine but it is impossible with this grinder.

Disappointing
This grinder was just okay while it was fully functioning. I really did not like the size of the grinded beans, it was limited to only drip grind, never was I able to grind the beans to down to an espresso grind.
After a months worth of grinding away, the stainless cup decided to stick to the base. I contacted the manufacturer, and at their advice, I filled a small plastic bag with ice, and let it sit for an hour. After a few tries, the cup did come loose, but it was momentarily. It is too late to ship it back to Amazon for a full refund, and the manufacturer will only send me a replacment if I send the grinder to them first. Even for Twenty dollars, this unit is a piece of poo!

Terrible coffee grinder - DO NOT BUY
I'm really disappointed in this product, usually I am very impressed by the Cuisinart brand. Everything about this coffee grinder is wrong. The one thing a COFFEE GRINDER should do is grind coffee. No matter how long you grind, you always end up with different sized grounds - some fine, some huge bean chunks, none of them adequate to make coffee - it's awful! Also, the design of the product leads to huge messes all over the counter. Little grounds get stuck in the lid, so when you go to put the lid back on to grind again...they all fall out all over your counter. I have to wipe down my counter every time I grind coffee. We'll be returning this product, and buying something better. Save your money, buy a different one!
